What practical measures can housing providers take to reduce the risks associated with e-bikes, e-scooters and other lithium-ion powered devices?
Over the past year, our webinar series has explored the growing challenge of e-mobility fire risk in residential buildings. We’ve examined why incidents are increasing, what reasonable action looks like, and why education and engagement are critical.
But as more organisations begin developing policies and identifying higher-risk situations, the next question is:
What practical measures are available to help reduce risk?
Join us on Tuesday 30 September (11am–12pm) for the next webinar in our e-mobility series as we explore the emerging technologies, processes and infrastructure that can help housing providers move from awareness to action.
Rather than focusing on a single product or solution, we’ll examine where different interventions fit within a layered, risk-based approach to managing e-mobility.
Tuesday 30 September | 11:00am – 12:00pm | Microsoft Teams | Free to attend
We’ll explore:
When policy isn’t enough
Many organisations have introduced guidance, but challenges remain.
- Residents continue storing devices in communal areas
- Damaged or modified batteries remain in use
- Charging continues in high-risk locations
- Organisations often don’t know which batteries are becoming unsafe
So what additional controls should be considered?
Practical scenarios
Using real housing examples we’ll discuss:
- What should landlords do when e-bikes or mobility scooters repeatedly appear in communal areas?
- How should visibly damaged or modified batteries be managed?
- When is charging inside a flat reasonable, and when should charging move elsewhere?
Battery assurance
Guest speaker Nick Bailey, Founder of BatteryIQ, will introduce an emerging approach to battery assurance, exploring:
- Why appearance alone isn’t enough
- Battery health and authenticity
- Identifying deteriorating batteries
- Live temperature monitoring
- How these technologies could support proportionate decision-making
Panel discussion
We’ll also explore:
- Which interventions offer the greatest reduction in risk?
- Is the future about removing batteries from buildings, making them safer within buildings, or both?
- Which solutions are likely to become mainstream over the next five years?
- What evidence would demonstrate that a landlord had taken reasonable steps to reduce risk?
Who should attend?
- Building Safety Managers
- Fire Safety Managers
- Asset Managers
- Compliance Managers
- Housing Managers
- Estate Managers
- Property Services Teams

Nigel works closely with social landlords across the UK to develop practical approaches to estate management challenges affecting resident safety.
More recently, he has led metroSTOR’s work on e-mobility fire risk, bringing together fire safety experts, technology specialists and housing professionals to explore how landlords can move from awareness to proportionate action.
Nigel will chair the session and explore how different interventions can form part of a practical, layered approach to e-mobility risk management.
